To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, GUY .W. HOWELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Glasston, in the county of Pembina and State of North Dakota, have invented new and useful Improvements in Bearings, of which the following isa specification.

This invention relates to bearings and more particularly to 'that type which' are used to connect disks to theframes of culti-- vators or plows.

Theobjeet of te'r which will be substantially dust proof, which may at al1 times properly lubricated.

Further objects of this invention will ap.

pear as the following specific description is read in connection with `the accompanying drawing, which forms a part of this appli! cation, and in Which z- Figure 1 is a side elevation. `Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view therethrough with parts removed. I

Referringmore, particularly to the drawing, l represents a substantially cruciformed Standard or shank which has secured to its lower end a tubular body 2 which extends upon the opposite sides of the standard and has the vend walls thereof grooved or recessed', as shown at 3, and t-he upper portion thereof provided Witha longitudinal chan,

nel 4 which communicates with the grooves or recesses at one end and at the opposite end with suitable o-il cups 5. The disk supports comprise concave and convex heads 6 and 7 which are provided with longitudinally extending parallel tubes 8 and 9, the

the inventionis to provide-a simple and eiiicient bearin .of this 'eharac be readily cleaned, and which .is

former of which are somewhat longer than the latter and abut inside of the tubular .mounting head or body 2 which extends 'between the tubes 8 and 9. Passing through the tubes 8 fis `a clamping bolt l0 Which is adapted .to connect the disks 1l at opposite 'endsof the'fdevice The heads -6 and 7- are lprovided-.With annular. ribs 12 which are arranged in between the tubes 8 and 9 and .are adapted to. enter the annular grooves or recesses 3 in the end ofthe tubular body 2.

'Asshowm the inner tubes 8 abuteach other so that vwhen thebolt is inoperative position to clamp the disks to theheads, the separate 'parts'of the bearing will be prevented from relative rotary movement. In the present typo of bearing, the tubular body 2 is an axle, the separate heads with their associated .tubes form thehub and the bolt passing therethrough actsto hold the hub upon the axle and to clamp the disks upon the hub.

What is claimed is Specification of Letters Patent. 7 Patented Feb, 25, 1913; l
